Set "enabled=0" in all the repo files that you don't want included by
default, then use "yum --enablerepo=repository" to select packages from
that repository. This will enable that repository just for that yum run.

Paul.

Thanks Paul.

Paul, I have tried to setup yum.repos.d and I'm not getting very far,I set up for example 'dag-extras.repo' with

[dag] name=Dag APT Repository baseurl=http://dag.freshrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag http://dag.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/ http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag enable=0 gpgcheck=1

in the file,using "sudo yum --enablerepo=dag-extras.repo update" I get an "Error getting repository data for dag-extras.repo, repository not found" now as far I know the data is there.But putting the dag repo in yum.conf it works So what am I doing wrong.

Thanks    david
